SOIL EXPERT WILL
LECTURE HEDE
Arrangements have been completed
by the Caldwell Commercial club for
the appearance here of Dr. W. E
Taylor, the famous soil expert, w'ho
will deliver a free lecture to the far
mers, business men and residents of
the community in general in the City
Hall, Tuesday, Sep. 16 at 2 p. m. The
coming of Dr. Taylor is awaited with
interest by the farmers of this sec
tion, whose subject for the afternoon
will be "Soil Fertility and the Science
of Crop Production
Press notices tell of the wonderful
enthusiasm that Dr. Taylor creates in
these lectures. He is, himself, a prac
tical farmer and a speaker of elo
quence and power. He operates a
number of experimental farms in dif
ferent parts of the United States, and
is conceded to be one of the best
posted men on soil culture that tihere
is in the country.
In his lectures Dr. Taylor makes it
plain that plant food elements are
necessary in the »oil for maximum
crop production, how missing ele
ments can be supplied, and how they
are made available for the use of
growing plants. He describes soil
texture; the influence that cultivation
has upon plant growth; how certain
elements of plant food can be taken
out of the air and fixed in the ground
by the aid of certain leguminous
plants; how humus can be restored
to worn out soils, and why this partic
ular element is of unusual importance
to the farmers.
His instructions concerning the
proper application of barnyard man
ure and its effect upon the plant is it
self a liberal education in plant pro
duction.
There isn't a word in Dr. Taylor's
lecture that is commonplace, uninter
esting or difficult to undersatnd. He
is eloquent, humorous and has an
amazing grasp of those vital agricul
tural subjects which are now of such
importance to the farmers of this
country.
We all want to know more about
how to produce larger crops from the
same acreage without additional ex
pense or without robbing the soil of
its fertility. The agricultural lands
